[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What kind of trashy person lets their 6th grader have a smart phone, and bring it to school, even worse? [/quote]

Lots of people. 6th grade is a middle school year and lots of kids have a phone to tell their parents where they are and to coordinate their grades and homework and get together with friends. [/quote]

This. Cell phones allow kids to start being responsible for themselves. I put it in the same category as knowing how to make a meal for yourself and do your own laundry. Withholding a phone is overprotective.[/quote]

I got my 6th grader a phone of her birthday and it took a good six months for her to start using it regularly as her friends got phones. They mostly just text each other memes and emojis. Which I know because I've locked that thing down to exclude all social media and can see texts via her iPad. But it's been very useful for her to have now that she's in middle school and has more activities. [/quote]
